March was a monumental month in my life — it marked my move to full-time blogger. (Look at all that alliteration!) I spent the first few weeks of this new existence catching up on long-neglected blog chores, but have now begun to focus on my writing. I’m excited about the weeks and months to come!
Here are some of the posts I especially liked this month:
- March 4th: Uncommon lifestyles and the truth about The 4-Hour Workweek: An interview with Tim Ferriss
- March 5th: How to inoculate your children against advertising (a guest post from Lisa Tiffin)
- March 6th: How to prevent identity theft — deter, detect, defend
- March 17th: Luck is no accident: 10 ways to get more out of work and life
- March 20th: The negative saving rate and the age of easy credit
- March 23rd: The magic of thinking small
- March 25th: What’s not to love about a new car? (a guest post from Katrina Ramser)
- March 31st: Drama in real life: Wrecked rental

I’m hoping that on March 31st, 2009, I will be able to make a similar post
I started my blog in March of this year. Technically, it was in February because I posted my first article on the last day of the month, but for all intents and purposes I consider it to be “born” in March.
I have been reading GRS for a long time now and to be honest, JD’s journey kinda inspired me, so I took the plunge.
The articles are well-researched and flow very well. My personal favorite this month is “The Magic Of Thinking Small”. So true. I eased into it and watched other members who signed up along with me go all out and burn out within weeks.
I also liked the slightly ironic tone of “What’s Not To Love About A New Car?”. Good Stuff!
Keep up the good work. The Money Blog Network is really he gold standard!

The post about innoculating children from advertising is a great one. I see it in a lot of kids these days, this complete servitude for commercials and we need to see it stop.
